Estes são todos os pilotos listados para as competições do Red Bull X-Fighters 2012. Com certeza poderemos esperar doubles backflip, volt, muitos combo backflip.

Uma novidade que entra para este ano é a proibição de flips no primeiro round! Sim, isso foi estipulado para que alguns pilotos tivessem mais chances de irem para as finais... E com isso os juízes estipulam que não basta ficar flipando, mas sim mostrar técnica, estilo e empolgação do público. Vejam trecho retirado do livro de regras do X-Fighters 2012:

"Competition Format
Round 1
The top 6 ranked riders will sit out Round 1 and all other riders will compete in reverse ranking order. Each rider will take one run on the course with a predetermined time limit (typically 60 seconds). No inverted rotational tricks will be allowed in this round (backflips, frontflips, 360’s, inverted varials). Any rider who performs an inverted rotational trick in this round will be disqualified from competition and will forfeit all points and prize monies. At the completion of each rider’s run, the judges will award a score. When all riders in this round have completed a scored run, the top 2 scored riders will be advanced through to Round 2 where the highest scored Round 1 rider will be awarded the #7 seed and the second highest scored Round 1 rider will be awarded the #8 seed."

Vamos esperar para ver amanhã como esta regra influenciará as apresentações e o que os pilotos e público acharão.

Amanhã nos vemos para mais informações!!!
